Doug Wilcox (life drawing) and Imei Hsu (Kripalu Yoga) join forces to provide an exploratory afternoon of movement (asana), breath (pranyama), and drawing.

Kripalu Yoga at 1:30pm - 2:45 pm (#711)
(Short break, snack)
Life Drawing at 3:00pm - 6:00 pm (#612)

Elevator Codes and directions will be posted.

Come for one or both sessions. There will be a 15 minute break between.

Use Kripalu Yoga (gentle to moderate) to open your mind to mediation and observation through movement; enter life drawing to explore beauty and the meditative joy of drawing.

The yoga style Imei teaches is Kripalu Yoga, known for being gentle, meditative, and activating your own body's "wisdom", in that the body was meant for movement, and knows what it likes. Imei will be doing a pranyama section, exploring different kinds of breath work to open the mind, and a 10 minute shavasana (rest pose) session at the end, to promote meditation. All asana (postures) can be modified for various challenges and flexibility; newcomers to Yoga are welcome.

Doug says: "This idea came from a conversation between Imei and I about how much BETTER I draw after yoga class. She teaches yoga, I host drawing, so it's one of those chocolate-peanut butter scenarios."

We think it's the perfect artistic union.
